Syntheses and Structural Control of Silicide, Oxide and Metallic Nano-Structured Materials

Abstract:

The structural control and morphological modification of a series of silicide, oxide and Ag metal nanostructures have been further discussed with reviews of nanostructure syntheses, such as CrSi₂ nanowire bundles dendrites, MoSi₂ nanosheets, α-Fe₂O₃ nanowires nanobelts, CuO/Cu₂O nanowire axial heterostructures, ZrO₂/SiO_x and CrSi₂/SiO_x core/shell nanowires. In addition, the syntheses of Ag three-dimensional dendrites, two-dimensional dendrites, two-dimensional fractal structures, particles and nanowires also were discussed. Moreover, the structural and morphological properties of the nanostructures were examined. The structural control and morphological modifications of the nanostructures have been successfully demonstrated by the appropriate thermal treatments with specific starting materials. A large volume of silicide nanowire bundles, large area of oxide nanowire arrays and large area Ag nanostructure coatings were successfully fabricated.
